Last year, “Yo Soy La Cara” was a national campaign attempting to make voting a social experience. The campaign focused on allowing Latinos express the importance of voting by setting example and encouraging others to register to vote thus eliminating the perceived taboo of talking about voting.
“We know that Latinos are not a monolithic group of people. We have different ideas as to what pride means and what it looks like in our communities,” Duarte said.
